During the experiment, the modeling of endothelial dysfunction of male rats was performed by intraperitoneal administration of L-NAME at a dose of 25 mg/kg for 7 days, and the same of female rats was performed by bilateral ovarioectomy and further intraperitoneal administration of L-NAME at a dose of 25 mg/kg for 7. The deficiency of nitric oxide as a result of the NO-synthase blockade was accompanied by the impairment of the endotheliumdependent and independent vasodilatation estimated in the pharmacological tests, which was expressed in the increasing coefficient of endothelial dysfunction. As a result of the research it was discovered that the combined application of thioctic acid at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day with antioxidant features and rosuvastatin at a dose of 0.85 mg/kg/day, which is a lipid-lowering drug, has endothelioprotective effect on the models of L-NAME-induced and hypoestrogen-LNAME-induced deficiency of nitric oxide, which is expressed in prevalence of endotheliumdependent relaxations of vessels and decreasing coefficient of endothelial dysfunction, as well as prevention of increase in nitric oxide production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
